Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.
Duggleby is the first village on the Gypsey Race, and the public bridleway leaving High Street to the east climbs steadily out of the valley onto Duggleby Wold and runs a mile and a quarter to the buildings at High Mowthorpe at 178 metres. It is a wide, firm farm track the whole way with big open views south over the wold and back down the Great Wold Valley. Turn round at High Mowthorpe, or carry on east on the bridleway that continues towards Kirby Grindalythe if you want a longer day. Duggleby Howe, one of the largest round barrows in Britain, stands beside the Kirby road at the far end of the village and is worth walking down to afterwards.
